System lookup tables contain a set of default items. For example, the Address Type lookup table has three items: Home, Business, and Other. You can add to, edit, inactivate, or delete them to fit your design.

You cannot create new system lookup tables. However, you can create custom lookup tables that are specific to your organization. For details, see Creating Custom Pages.
